"Must be the water"
??
That’s awesome italian communication. I love it 😂
Best part of the race so far.
😆
I swear the more chaotic a race gets, the more powerful Stroll becomes.
Noooo Oscar
Such a pity :/
That shot of the two McLarens sliding left and right while Max just drives through on the road lol
Really nice to see Anthony Hamilton console Hadjar. Sweet gesture.
An unfortunate incident, but he'll learn.
Anthony Hamilton is a 5 star human being
Lawson crash. Bortoletto out. Antonelli and Bearman are the only rookies left.
Is it time for the rookies to crash again?
The "under investigation" exclamation points next to the driver times are back! ❗
Haas has a different weather app for sure
Haas has a weather app?
Alonso crashes. Another rookie out..
Ferrari really set out to harass their drivers today
Ferrari really set out to harass their drivers
todaythe last decade
Oof, three cars out already
Bloodbath for the rookies
Doohan 😭
Rookie massacre out there.
Sainz too omg????
Press the button Hamilton...
If the rain hadn't hit the track it could have worked out for ferrari - to be fair Lewis was on the bad end of some bad Merc calls last season so hes probably used to it.
Looks like Ferrari and Redbull have a bit of catup to do. Antonelli did well.
Lewis getting lots of unwanted info from the pitwall was gold. I didn't get a sense of how the Mercs were doing. Will get to see if they are as mercurial as last year I guess.
Another rookie out 😭
Kinda miss Will Buxton for the grid walk.
Glad Coulthard is still around for commentary
Actual rain again? Gonna be wild
Wow that was exciting at the end
Fernando, the chad he is, taking his hands off the wheel when crashing.
So many drivers don't do that, and we saw with Ricciardo how it can end..
Reflecting on the incident, having returned to the paddock on Friday night with his arm in a cast after a check-up in the local hospital, Ricciardo commented: “I remember coming into Turn 3. I had already gotten into the corner and then saw Piastri, so it was either hit him or the wall.
“When I hit the wall, I didn’t have enough time to take my hands off the steering wheel, so the wheel came and hit my hand.”
Yes I know that, his case was special, but in other cases not taking your hands off can easily end with broken fingers like Ricciardo
Verstappen didn't box to be opposite to Norris
Loud applause from the Aussies here as well for Oscar's move
Ooof! Alonso is out
Since I'm out of the country, I'm stuck with watching Sky. Their obsession with Hamilton is truely fascinating
"Hold position until you clear the backmarkers" is actually a fair demand imo
DRS enabled!? Wow! Now I’m curious with only one somehow usable driving line
Charles LMAO
Place your bets: who will be out next on dry tyres on a semi-dry track?
What an interesting sprint race we get at the end!
DRAMA 😱
That top-down drone (?) shot of the kerb is 🔥🔥🔥
I wonder how Ocon's feeling racing against all the rookies there, now that Hulk is in front of that whole pack
Oh no Yuki and Alonso have what I call a "Perez investigation"
